Community Empowerment: A Reader in Participation and Development (Experiences of Grassroots Development) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book reviews contemporary campaigns for community participation and empowerment with examples from Europe, the USA, Australia, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. It critically assesses developments in the 'mixed economy of welfare' in terms of their relevance for self-help and community participation. It also considers the concept of empowerment and its relation to public policy and developments within social movements. The case studies demonstrate the continuing struggle of communities to take more control over the key issues they confront, including poverty and the impact of international economic restructuring.

Review
'This is a ground-breaking, nuanced and comprehensive book that grapples with how developing countries in general and Ghana in particular have endured and responded to a decade of neo-liberal ascendancy. Based on astute research, experiences and analysis, the book offers penetrating commentaries on recent socio-economic and political developments in Ghana. A 'must-read' collection of excellent and stimulating ideas'. Mohamed Salih, Professor of Politics of Development, University of Leiden and the Institute of Social Studies, The Netherlands 'This, the first book-length assessment of the latest experiment in liberal democracy in Ghana, is a timely study. It shows in an admirable way both the progress and the still existing shortcomings in the institutionalization of liberal democracy and will undoubtedly attract a wide readership in academic and policy-making circles.' Piet Konings, African Studies Centre, Leiden
